Agreed!. Audi's marketing folks got a little excited here. Low
5s is breathtaking, 6.7 is not, particulary when you realize that
some youngster in a new Camaro or Firebird will eat your lunch.
Don't get me wrong either, if the TT Roadster fits (I'm 6'5"
(mostly in the waist) and broad shouldered) it will be included
on my next quattro list.
